Technical Diploma (TD) in Medical Coding Specialist

Medical coding specialists translate verbal descriptions of disease, injury, and procedures into numerical designations. The accurate recording of this information is critical for the reimbursement of healthcare claims, medical statistics, and research. You'll gain an understanding of the anatomy, signs, and symptoms of diseases, and medical procedures. You'll also learn how to analyze medical records and assign codes to diagnoses and procedures. Upon completion, you could work in a variety of healthcare settings, for a health insurance company or continue on to the Health Information Technology Associate Degree.
